Polar-Complex Mode
Polar-complex mode recognizes and displays a complex number in the
form
re^
q
i
, where
r
is the magnitude,
e
is the base of the natural log,
q
is the
angle, and
i
is a constant equal to
-1
.
To enter a complex number in polar form, enter the value of
r
(
magnitude
),
press
y
J
(exponential function), enter the value of
q
(
angle
), press
y
V
(constant), and then press
